"Revealed: Genocidal plot to open up territory of uncontacted Amazon tribe", 11 April, 2017

...Councillors from Colniza in central Brazil, which is dominated by illegal logging and ranching and for years was Brazil’s most violent town, have met the Minister of Justice to lobby for the Rio Pardo indigenous territory to be drastically reduced in size. The minister is reportedly sympathetic to the councillors’ proposals. Their plan is for road-builders, loggers, ranchers and soya farmers to move in, despite the territory being home to the last of the Kawahiva tribe, one of the most vulnerable peoples on the planet. The Kawahiva depend entirely on the rainforest for survival, and have been on the run from loggers and other invaders for years. The Rio Pardo territory was only recognized in 2016, following a global campaign by Survival International and pressure within Brazil...Now, however, vested interests in the region could undo much of that progress...The Kawahiva are hunter-gatherers, who migrate from camp to camp through the Rio Pardo rainforest. Roads, ranches and logging all risk exposing them to violence from outsiders who steal their lands and resources, and to diseases like flu and measles to which they have no resistance...
